Human Drugs Testing

JustAThought

Discovered recently that there is a place doing human drugs experiment research testing in Dublin. Would you do it & under what circumstances?!

When I was a university student there were two ways to earn a few easy euro.
1) Donate sperm (not much use if you are female)
2) Sign up for a drug testing program. Medival was the company near us and they had drug testing programs specifically for students (ie, the programs coincided with holidays). Neither bother me. Nice little earners and if something went wrong you would be looked after.

My motto is fags and weed, glue and speed, but I draws the line at crack. That way, everyone knows where they stand.

Dude I'm already doing it and have done for a long time, so, I may as well get paid. If my head gets bigger from their drugs then it's no big deal as my head is expanding from the ones I am already on.

How much cash payment are we talking about to help save humanity with this ?. Where is this exact location in Dublin as I might be interested in helping them.

Actually I think I will pass on that one, I'm not that desperate for cash.

One man, a previously healthy 21-year-old, was carted in while screaming in agony about how he thought his head was about to explode as it swelled to three times its normal size. One patient was in a coma for a month while others suffered heart, liver and kidney failure, septicaemia, pneumonia and dry gangrene. One lost part of his fingers and toes. All of them are expected to need treatment for the rest of their lives.

When I was living in the UK a girl I knew did it and so did some of her friends (Kiwis and Aussies). They would go somewhere for 4 weeks and take some kind of drug and sign 1,056 release forms and at the end of it they got about 3 grand sterling. Then they'd go travelling around Europe. About 12 years later the said girl has 2 healthy children and seems to be doing ok, but I still don't think I could do it myself.

It sure is a gamble, no-one knows how you will take to these drugs, as every-one reacts differently. I think the payout is terrible for these trials, it would want to be a hell of a lot more than €9 and hour or 3 grand a month to put yourself in that position.

A few grand is worth more than a human beings life it seems to some folk.

Was it in France a load of them died?



As long as it's well tested on animals first, i'd consider it

I'd be more into them experimenting on me with cyborg electronics and advanced metal alloy materials all over my body and get paid for it than the risk of the drug one. The new Borg. Sounds better.

Friend of a friend in Japan did this every year in the break between academic years. Spend a month down in some small town somewhere taking pills or whatever the treatment was for whatever period of time it was.

Made a pretty penny from it too - they were always looking for 'Western' volunteers to compare results with Japanese volunteers.

They can do trials on existing drugs too, could be asprin or anything. They were paying people for trials on MDMA in trinity college.

Never thought to. One guy died here a few years back I think.

I do remember a news story on that one in Trinity a few years back. Well, if there are any trials going to happen in Trinity again but with LSD be sure to let me know. A trial like that would be interesting indeed.

Sign me up.

The risks should be low enough by the time it gets to human trials, but there's always the chance it could go horribly wrong. If I had any known conditions in the family like my grandfather had alzheimer's, or granny had bad organs, I'd avoid taking unknown drugs.

Oh man! I was running those trials for free for years!

What a kick in the teeth. I could have saved a fortune!

What is the name of the company that does this in dublin? I would gladly do it

Question why you would do it in Ireland for €9 an hour, that wouldn't be worth it at all. €5,000 a week for first-time-human trials would be acceptable because the risk is huge. Anything less then I'm out. Being poked and prodded with needles for 11 days or a month I'd expect 5 grand per week minimum.

I'd expect 5 grand per week just to eat the apricots alone :mad:

Don't sell your consciousness to the Devil for less.

I wouldn't. Eapecially after reading some of the statistics on fatalities, brain damage & life changing serious handicaps caused directly by them. I'd be afraid you'd think I was recommending them.

But a quick google showed a seriously scarey number of human trials going on both in Dublin & beyond the pale.many sponsored by big pharma companies.

I'm still getting over what I read about the negative results - bleeding brains, gangrene, loss of sight, left unable to walk or as a vegetable. That kinda stuff. Apparently in the Uk of 95,000 participants 7,000 + had serious life altering negative side effects & almost 450 died :0
All mostly under the radar of the daily media churn & health & safety brigaders :0
